[SIZE=3]<CITE>The other day while doing some windows it dawned on me that was not detailing as much?</CITE>[/SIZE]<CITE></SPAN></CITE>[SIZE=3]
<CITE>Had a look at the squeegee then realized that one the clip that hold the squeegee rubber had fell off!</CITE>[/SIZE]<CITE></SPAN></CITE>[SIZE=3]
<CITE>There was about ¼ inch sticking out the end that had no clip.</CITE>[/SIZE]<CITE></SPAN></CITE>[SIZE=3]
<CITE>For some reason the squeegee seems to work better as well not as much drag on the squeegee blade.</CITE>[/SIZE]<CITE></SPAN></CITE>[SIZE=3]
<CITE>The squeegee is a 20 inch.</CITE>[/SIZE]<CITE></SPAN></CITE>[SIZE=3]
<CITE>Is there any one out there that has done this?</CITE>[/SIZE]<CITE></SPAN></CITE>[SIZE=3]

I have noticed the same thing … the other day when I changed rubber on my 16" Slayer, I lost one of the clips and used the one remaining clip on right hand ( leading edge) of channel. I usually “cut in” with the righthand side of channel on the uppermost frame of the window, with the clip attached here, it provides a nice tight stroke…and without the clip on the opposite end of the channel I did notice the rubber “hugged” the remaining side of the window frame just fine and the amount of detailing seemed less. Dunno why this is but, yeah, I agree 1 clip seems to work fine, however I trim the non-clipped (left side) of the rubber down to about 1/8" exposed to get a little closer to the bottom frame which provides a tighter close out stroke and less detailing. Think I might set up all my channels in 1 clip mode and do some more experimenting…so far it has me scratching my head.
I never use two clips. Easier to change the rubber, more flexibility with squeegeeing. Ditch the second clip and don’t look back! (actually…save the second clip for when you lose the first one)
[SIZE=3]Have just tried a 34inch squeegee that always seem to have to much drag when using it.
Never really went that well with it.
So tried it out with one clip on the leading edge.
Not only was there hardly no drag.
Was able to fan with it!
See how it goes the rest of the week.

I forgot to mention which side the clip should be on. When I wipe off my rubber, I turn the right side of the squeegee up, and wipe down. I put the clip in the right side of the squeegee channel because the rubber doesn’t pull or move…it is more supported. So the clip should go in the side that will get pulled. I’m too tired to think of a better way to explain it, but if anyone needs clearer direction…ask me after my relaxing weekend…hopefully i will have one of those.
Hopefully not… Our New England winter is just around the corner
I’ll take our New England weather! I’m tired and feeling lazy.
Yup, I said it. Feeling Lazy and have fantasies of lazing around the house that I rarely see. And I would do nothing.
In reality I have no concept of how to achieve this Utopian vision. sounds lovely though.
[SIZE=3]OK as said before that there was not much drag on the 34 inch squeegee with the clip on one end.[/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=3]
Thought the trick is to make sure to wet all the glass.[/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=3]
The only thing is that you would need a long scrubber as well and work out what would be the best length.[/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=3]
So made a 36 inch flat scrubber bar with orbital handle.[/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=3]
The scrubbing sleeve was made from two 18 inch scrubber sleeves sown together.[/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=3]
Just gave it a test run to see how it would go.[/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=3]
It was amazing how quick and easy it was to work with.[/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=3]
When get chance take a video doing the two handed fanning method.[/SIZE]</SPAN>[SIZE=3]
